Ji Chen snapped back to reality and saw l_Love_Black_Stockings staring at him with anticipation… Wait, she was looking at his water hand that was holding a wooden box.

He waved his hand in front of her, but there was no response.

He cleared his throat and spoke up.

“The quantity is correct.”

Only then did l_Love_Black_Stockings snap out of her daze and curiously asked, “Does your profession grant you the ability to create a water staircase and water hand, Islander? It looks so cool.”

Completing the trade smoothly, Ji Chen was in a decent mood and didn’t hide anything.

“That’s right. My profession allows me to manipulate water and shape it into any form.”

As he said that, he raised his hand, and the water hand transformed into a water ball, taking on various forms such as swords, spears, and even flowers and trees.

I_Love_Black_Stockings was astonished by the versatility of the shapes, whether they were soft or hard, long or short, thick or thin.

Suddenly, she thought of something strange, and her face turned red.

Ji Chen looked at her with curiosity.

“Why are you suddenly blushing?”

I_Love_Black_Stockings shook her head frantically. “No, no, it’s probably… probably because of the hot weather!”

He looked up at the sky. Despite the clear day, the coastal breeze kept the temperature pleasant, sparing them from the discomfort of blushing. However, he wasn’t inclined to pursue the topic any further.

Ji Chen casually waved his hand, and the water was thrown back into the sea.

“Now that the trade is complete, then…”

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden explosion from the forest near the territory.

I_Love_Black_Stockings was startled, and her expression changed.

“What’s happening?” Ji Chen looked in the direction of the explosion and asked.

“That’s the sound of the self-detonating water spiders guarding my territory. They must have encountered invaders,” I_Love_Black_Stockings said urgently. “I’m unable to continue entertaining you, Islander. I need to hurry and check the situation.”

Ji Chen understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded.

I_Love_Black_Stockings didn’t waste any more time and led several squads of

7-star Tier 2 human units toward the direction of the explosion.

It seemed like she used some treasure items along the way, as the speed of the entire army suddenly increased, and they quickly arrived at the scene.

In a blink of an eye, the majority of the stationed defending army had departed from the territory, leaving only a few to maintain order.

The defense was now extremely vulnerable.

Ji Chen shook his head. l_Love_Black_Stockings really trusted him to stay here alone. She wasn’t afraid that he would do something.

But with or without defenses, it wouldn’t make much difference.

If he really wanted to do something, even if she combined all her forces, it wouldn’t be enough to stop him.

Half an hour later, l_Love_Black_Stockings returned with her army.

Ji Chen looked at her with a somewhat grimy face, but her army seemed unharmed. Curiously, he asked, “What happened?”

“Other players came to harass the territory,” I_Love_Black_Stockings said with a bitter expression. “You’ve probably heard about the situation on King Kong Island. Initially, when players first arrived here, they were overly concentrated, resulting in a large-scale conflict for resources. Although it eventually calmed down, with the development and expansion of the players, a similar situation has emerged recently.”

I_Love_Black_Stockings sighed heavily. “I occupied several nearby resource points during that time and fortunately recruited two heroes, which increased my strength compared to the neighboring players. As a result, they united and started harassing me intermittently. I’ve been running around every day, unable to lead my troops out to attack them, fearing that 1 would be ambushed as soon as I step out. To be honest with you, I’ve recently lost two resource points and suffered heavy casualties among my troops. I’ve lost almost a third of my units during this period,” she continued.

“Just now, with the gold coins I obtained from the trade, I had to buy resources and recruit new troops. But if this continues, I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”

As she spoke, exhaustion became evident on her face.

It dawned on Ji Chen that there was more to the situation than he initially thought. No wonder I_Love_Black_Stockings was so eager to sell the military recruitment cores.

However, despite the unfortunate circumstances, Ji Chen had no inclination to intervene. Their relationship was limited to that of trading partners, and it didn’t reach the level where he felt compelled to lend a helping hand.

I_Love_Black_Stockings glanced at Ji Chen’s indifferent expression and let out a heavy sigh. She understood that even if the big boss had immense power, there was no reason for him to willingly meddle in her affairs. Yet, a flicker of disappointment couldn’t help but cross her eyes.

In the depths of her heart, she made a firm resolution, and her face turned serious.

“Islander, I have a favor to ask of you. 1 happened to come across a key that grant access to an ancient ruins. The location of this relic lies deep within the central jungle of King Kong Island. I’ve heard that this ruins was left behind by a civilization that once ruled over King Kong Island. It undoubtedly holds precious and rare treasures and resources, and it’s likely guarded by powerful beings. Due to my own limitations, I haven’t been able to explore it myself. But with your abilities, I believe you can fully explore that place.. Therefore, if you can help me overcome this crisis, I’m willing to offer the key to you as a reward!”
